Cardinals CB Marcus Cooper has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 2.

Cooper was acquired via trade from the Chiefs at final cuts. After rookie CB Brandon Williams got abused in the Week 1 opener, Cooper played 65-of-80 defensive snaps against the Bucs and picked off two passes, returning one 60 yards for a touchdown. He also broke up three passes. Coach Bruce Arians said he'll go with the hot hand at cornerback opposite Patrick Peterson. Sep 21 - 10:49 AM

Cardinals acquired CB Marcus Cooper from the Chiefs in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2018.

Cooper made some noise as a seventh-round rookie in 2013, but his play steadily fell off. He'll provide some depth behind the shaky duo of Justin Bethel and Brandon Williams opposite Patrick Peterson. Cooper also spent some time at safety this summer. He will likely be tried as a press corner in Arizona. Sep 2 - 4:04 PM

Marcus Cooper has been getting safety reps at OTAs.

Cooper is moving to safety full time after spending his first three years at corner. He gives the Chiefs another option behind starters Eric Berry and Ron Parker. Added versatility will improve Cooper's chances of making the 53. Jun 11 - 2:27 PM

Cooper has played all of one defensive snap through the first two weeks and could probably be had for a conditional seventh-round pick. He went to Rutgers, and the Patriots previously tried landing him via waivers from the 49ers in 2013 before the Chiefs won on the wire. The Patriots are looking for corner help.

David Johnson rushed 18 times for 84 yards and a touchdown while catching 9-of-12 targets for 91 yards and another score in the Cardinals' Week 13 win over the Redskins.

There is not much left to say about David Johnson. A dominant force both on the ground and through the air, Johnson put the offense on his back against Washington. He opened the scoring with a short touchdown after a strong opening drive, consistently moved the chains with big catches in the passing game, and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 25-yard catch in the fourth quarter. He also converted a late fourth down with a big run. The fact these games have become almost expected speaks to how spectacular Johnson has been all season. He is the overall RB1 every week.

Johnson underwent sports hernia surgery after injuring his groin in Week 4. The Cardinals declined to make him their designated player to return, instead choosing CB Tyvon Branch. Johnson has had his last two seasons cut short due to injuries but still feels he has something to offer. The 31-year-old is headed for free agency.

It's his first practice since going down in Week 5. Coach Bruce Arians said Iupati "looked good" and is trending toward playing. Barring any setbacks, Iupati should return for Sunday night's game against Seattle.
